Default New Exhaust

I know you guys have probably seen this a thousand times, but I just wanted to say many thanks to BLK250 ! Got the exhaust from him today. He came all the way over to my place and helped me install the exhaust! What a guy!

It was supposed to be an easy install but the center hangers gave a lot of problems before it finally relented and made way for the new Tanabe exhaust!

Thanks! Yes, I must say that it goes well with TP! heh heh!
Well, the exhaust looks a little dirty, but its used. Heck I got it for the sound! I like it when I hit the ignition and how it greets me!

Congrads on getting this exhaust! I knew someone local from the bayarea was smart enough to jump on this deal from blk250. The Tanabe's went up in price. The sound must be sweet

how'd you get your silver IS350 to look so shiny? a lot of the IS's I see on the freeway have a very flat silver look to them.

Yo! Yea, I definitely took it out and basically decreased my mpgs! Thanks for coming up all the way and helping me install the exhaust! Can't believe you're going back to the stock exhaust (for now). Must be very strange that its all quiet!

The exhaust is certainly very different from the stock. Can't believe that this is the quietest, with the exception of the stock. Its definitely quiet when you're just cruising. But the moment you step on it, and your rpms shift from 2k upwards, you hear the growl coming from the rear. Guess I'm still getting used to it. The litmus test will be when the gf sits in it.

Its the lighting! I don't think my silver is exceptionally shiny. I did wax it about 2 weeks ago. But I doubt that's the cause. Its the lighting.
